Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
The key components of CAUTI prevention are to avoid unnecessary use of urinary catheters, insert urinary catheters using aseptic technique, adopt evidence-based standards for maintenance of urinary catheters, review the need for the urinary catheter daily, and remove the catheter promptly.
